т Measures to Indicate the Destination by Using AIS Concerning the тDestination Fieldт in Automatic Identification System (AIS) messages, т The method of entering data is established along with IMOтs guidance. тЁ Entering of data according to the newly established entry method is mandatory. яМApplicable VesselsяМ Vessels carrying AIS (vessels exempted from the obligation to operate AIS at all times are excluded) The AIS automatically transmits and receives the three kinds of information shown below between vessels or vessels and the navigation assist facility onshore. The installation of the system is mandatory for certain vessels including inland cargo vessels of 500 gross tonnage and upwards. Dynamic Information Static Information As for the way to input in the destination field in AIS message, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has recommended using UN/LOCODE, five-letter codes (combination of 2-letter code for country name and 3-letter code of location name) to represent certain locations all over the world. The newly established method is based on this IMO s recommendation. уЛCall sign and vessel name уЛLength and width of vessel уЛType of vessel уЛOther Position, navigation state, course over land, speed over land, etc. AIS Information (vesselтvessel) Voyage Information уЛDraft of vessel уЛDestination уЛOther AIS Information (vesselтland) Shore-based Facility яМEntry MethodяМ Destination Field in AIS Message яМAutomatic Identification SystemяМ яМН яМН яМтт ттт ттяМттт NAME/ OCEAN QUEEN CALL SING/ IOQ2179 т тЁ тЂ т A code representing a destination port (2-letter code for a country, 1-letter for a blank space and 3-letter code for a port) тЁA code representing a course in a destination port (1-or-2-letter code for a berth, etc) тЂA code representing other necessary information (e.g. routes to pass through, etc.) Enter appropriate codes according to the method shown above. Do not forget to enter certain symbols like т>т, т/т, etc. SHIPS TYPE/ TANKER DESTINATION/NAK 2NP>JPYOK LENGTH/ 75M Attention : course indications by signal flags in port and on the traffic routes are still effective. Entry Rules for the Destination Port * When the destination port is a Japanese port governed by the Act on Port Regulations, enter the code as stipulated anew (all codes are described in booklets (Note 1)). * When the destination port is an overseas port, enter the UN/LOCODE (Example: тUS SFOт for San Francisco in the United States). * If the destination port does not have the UN/LOCODE, or if the UN/LOCODE of the destination port is unknown, enter a general English name following т = = =.т * When the port name of the destination port is unknown, enter т?? ???т instead of the UN/LOCODE. Information about the destination allows vessels to predict each otherтs courses, which will reduce the risk of collision and thus enhance the safety. So do not forget to renew the entry for each voyage and make sure that you enter the correct codes. Entry should be made as soon as possible. It is highly recommended to finish it before you start your voyage. NOTE Incorrect entries may increase the risk of dangerous situations. яМEntry ExamplesяМ уExample 1у A vessel is heading for the berthing facility in the Tamashima area (excluding Otoshima). яМН яМН т The destination port is Mizushima Port (JP MIZ). тЁIn the destination port, the vessel is heading for the berthing facility in the Tamashima area (excluding Otoshima) (TS). яМExample of Mizushima PortяМ яМяМЊяМА яМяМЉяМК яМДяМГ т тЁ For the code тЁ, enter the symbol of the signal flags (excluding the substitute signals) required by the Act on Port Regulations to show the course in the destination port. уExample 2у The vessel s destination port is Mizushima Port.
